Domestic Violence Act (UK)

The Domestic Violence Act (UK) is legislation designed to protect individuals from abuse by someone they have a close relationship with, such as a partner, family member, or former partner. It allows victims to seek legal remedies such as non-molestation orders, occupation orders, and injunctions to prevent further abuse, harassment, or violence. The law also provides measures for the safety and welfare of children involved. Its aim is to provide immediate and long-term protection, ensuring victims can stay safe and seek legal recourse against abusive behavior.
